Jeffrey Epstein’s Celebrity Hairstylist Hit With Explosive New Lawsuit

The suit says Fekkai and an employee helped Epstein groom women for abuse over 15 years and used the salon as a control point.

  • On Tuesday, seven women sued French celebrity hairdresser Frédéric Fekkai in New York, alleging he enabled disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to use his salons as a network for manipulating and coercing young women.
  • The complaint alleges Fekkai groomed victims to look "as young as possible" under Epstein's direction, including bleaching hair blond, while flight logs show Fekkai traveled on the "Lolita Express" in 2000 and 2002.
  • Plaintiffs, including former model Kersti Ferguson, are suing under New York's Gender-Motivated Violence Act, describing Fekkai as an "enabler" of Epstein's abuse for over 15 years at his "epicenter for victim grooming."
  • The lawsuit follows Monday's public comments by U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, who named Fekkai among individuals he said "should be investigated and prosecuted" over alleged Epstein dealings; Fekkai has not yet reacted.
  • This action adds to scrutiny surrounding Epstein's associates following the Department of Justice's release of more than 3,000 documents related to the salon last year, though these civil allegations remain unproven in court.
